Wow, that's the first time I hear that an XML parser is choking on a namespace name. Whether or not "bar" is a legal namespace name may be controversial; my recollection is that the W3C, after lots and lots of messages exchanged about that topic, basically deprecated them. Potentially there's a config switch in expat where you can switch off the checking. It's well intended, but I wouldn't me surprised that insisting on it may break existing WebDAV clients. BR, Julian
